The Mannheim District of The Church of Pentecost in Germany held a day’s conference for all singles and youth in the district on Saturday, 29th June 2024, in Freiburg.
The event, which was the first of its kind, focused on “Singles’ Issues & Thoughts; Taking Some of the Blur Out of Dating and Finding Mr. or Mrs. Right.”
Speaking at the conference, Deaconess Mercy Opoku, the District Assistant Women’s Ministry Leader, advised singles to solely depend on God in their singleness and to allow God to work on them. This, she said, would help them to be fully prepared and ready for marriage because long-term singleness brings fear and anxiety into one’s life.
“In your singleness, stay connected with God, trust in Him, and He will direct your paths,” she added.
Deaconess Opoku encouraged singles to be committed to God and serve Him diligently. She further advised them to commit their ways to the Lord and tell Him what they need, and not just look at the outward appearance.
“Don’t only look at the outward features, but pray to God to prepare you for your partner and your partner for you,” she reiterated.
As part of the conference, a panel discussion session was held to answer and discuss questions asked by participants during the conference.
Present at the conference were P/Overseer Andrews Asamoah-Boakye (District Minister), his wife, Mrs. Colleta Asamoah-Boakye, and Elder George Agyebeng, former Presiding Elder of PIWC Mannheim. They also served as panelists for the panel discussion.
